With teams battling for the final few spots in the Group Stages and a chance to play live on the Blizzcon stage, these are sure to be some fiery matches.

Bracket Creation
Twitter user @slmnio has made a habit of creating good, accessible brackets for OW esports events. This year, he has made a bracket for the 2019 OWWC Prelims, which can be located below.

Other details have not yet been revealed concerning the OWWC Prelims, with the promotion of the games relatively silent by Blizzard/Overwatch. With a lot of hard work and fundraising on the line for these teams, there is good reason to tune into these matches on Halloween.
